Energize Our Neighborhoods is proud to host the 3rd Boise Neighborhood Interactive community conference, highlighting the event’s theme: “Reimagine Housing & Neighborhoods."
Attainable housing is incredibly important for individual and community health and well-being. But this vital resource continues to become more expensive and less accessible in many places, Boise included. While we face many structural barriers to improving the affordability, availability, and accessibility of homes, we have the opportunity to reimagine how neighborhoods can be part of meaningfully addressing our housing needs.
The mission of the Boise Neighborhood Interactive is to empower and engage residents to take responsibility for creating and sustaining welcoming and livable neighborhoods through information, shared resources, collaboration, and training.
2020 Boise Neighborhood Interactive
The Boise Neighborhood Interactive Citizen Steering Committee is currently seeking workshop proposals for the 2020 conference, which is planned for October and will be held virtually. Proposals should speak to the conference’s theme: “Reimagine Housing & Neighborhoods."
Applicants should complete all requested information in the Call for Proposals packet and send it via email to Energize@cityofboise.org. Proposals should be submitted by June 30, 2020. All proposals will be reviewed by the Citizen Steering Committee; notification of selected proposals will be made by Sept. 1, 2020.
The deadline for workshop proposals has been extended to July 17, 2020.
Past Events
The Boise Neighborhood Interactive has been held every 18 months since the Fall of 2017.
